Lesson Planning for English Learners

Part 1: Lesson Plan

For this assignment, create a lesson plan for integrated English language development (ELD) instruction that integrates ELLs’ cultural values and beliefs. Using the "COE Lesson Plan Template,” address the following:

Using your clinical field experience classroom as the context for planning the lesson, select the grade level and at least one of the 10 Arizona English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards. In addition, select an English Language Arts (ELA) standard that aligns with the ELP standard.

Complete all sections of the lesson plan template, focusing specifically on aligning objectives, instruction, and assessments to the ELA and ELP standards selected.

Include both ELA and ELP standards within the "National/State Learning Standards" section of the template.

Differentiation should address ELLs’ language differences, giftedness, and special education needs.

Part 2: Reflection

Write a 250-500 word reflection explaining how your lesson plan integrates ELLs’ cultural values and beliefs in the context of teaching and learning. Include a description of how your lesson planning and focus would be different, if you were to develop a targeted ELD lesson, instead of the integrated lesson you designed.
